Cinque Terre was undoubtedly our favorite part of Italy. Cinque Terre consists of 5 villages in the Italian Riviera. We stayed in Vernazza and I will have more tomorrow on our accommodations.
We had a delicious dinner at sunset, right here:
There are hiking trails connecting the 5 villages. It takes around 4 hours without stopping in each village. This was a highlight of our trip. I took over 200 photos, but I have narrowed down my favorites. We started from Vernazza, hiked 3 villages, took a boat ride back to the first village, Montorosso, and then hiked back to Vernazza.
Some parts of the trail were very strenuous and required water breaks, others were flat and quite enjoyable. We saw women over 80 years old on this hike, and I was equally inspired and concerned for them.
We bought focaccio slices for lunch. Cinque Terre is famous for their pesto, which was delicious and without a fishy taste that sometimes accompanies pesto.
We went swimming and read books here for an hour while we waited for the boat. Ah, I want to go back already...
